Thanet Festival Choir

 

The Thanet Festival Choir (TFC) is a mixed choral group (male and female voices) of around 75 amateur singers. Based in the Isle of Thanet, East Kent, we regularly perform concerts to bring our music to the wider community. We are an adult choir, but we welcome young people over the age of 16 provided that they are accompanied at rehearsals by a parent/guardian or other appropriate adult. Our membership is drawn from a wide range of musical abilities. Some of us have many years experience of singing in choirs and others are relatively new to the joys and challenges of choral singing, but we all enjoy singing works from the traditional choral repertoire and support each other in our learning.

Would you like to sing with the Choir? 

Join us at St Peters Church Hall, Hopeville Avenue, St Peters CT10 2TR on Wednesday evenings from 7.45pm. You will receive a warm welcome. We have a ‘buddying’ scheme so that prospective new members are paired with experienced singers who can guide and support them through their first few rehearsals.  You’ll be introduced to other members of your voice section and to the Music Director, and given music and basic information about the Choir. Each rehearsal starts at 7.45pm and begins with a ‘warm up’ to get the vocal chords working. We then rehearse some of the music programmed for our next concert, usually in some detail to start with and then we progress to ‘sing-throughs’ as the notes and words become more familiar. There’s a 10 minute break at around 8.30pm, and we usually finish at around 9.30pm.

A Fitting Celebration

We’re still recovering from last night’s concert. What a wonderful evening, with top notch soloists and a full house we couldn’t have wished for a more fitting celebration of Thanet Festival Choir’s 80th anniversary. Huge thanks to everyone involved in the planning and organisation and to our MD, Clifford, who was the lynchpin of it […]
